Formed in Athens in the early 90's, Nightstalker are considered as a 'cult' band of the stoner rock scene.
The whole concept was realized by the singer (and drummer at that time), Argy, who was the founder member of the band. Together with Andreas ,Harry and Hill he started the whole Nightstalker idea...
After generating quite a bit of excitement in their live appearances and some participations in compilations, such as 'Divin' and 'Toxic Babes in a R'n'R Land', the first album came... In 1995, the first release was the EP: SideFx, from the label 'Iptamenoi Diskoi' & Hitch-Hyke. Songs such as Spit, What Your Name Is and Keep Knockin' became the main attraction at the spectacular Nightstalker live shows. But, through the Mad Prophet song, the band showed what they're really made of and gave their fans the idea of what was to come... It was only the beginning...
The success of the first album led to the band accepting the offer of FM Records to release the next full-length album. And this album was Use... Give Me, Use, Raw, TriggerHappy, This is U and virtually every song made this album a classic and Nightstalker became an institution in the stoner rock scene. A 'classic' album...
After one year 'Hill' left the band and the rest continued as a trio. The new millenium gives us the next release, the EP The Ritual... A very dark and stoner album with unforgetable tracks such as Galactic Revolution, Hide Your Sun and the cover of Motorhead's Iron Horse. A drummer joined the band for the live appearences (Costas aka Magos, Digital Alkemist). The live performance of the band were now unbelievable...
After two years came the decision for a second guitarist to join the band. His name is Tolis and has worked with Argy before, in a project called 'Superdoz'. In 2004 Nighstalker released "Just a Burn" (2004 Mad Prophet Records).
